Estonia on Turkey
Estonia, a political and economic success story in the Baltics, says it believes that Turkey will one day join the European Union but is not very happy about it, said former Estonian Prime Minister Mart Laar.
"One day Turkey will be in," he said, adding with a chuckle, "almost whether anybody really wants it or not."
Turkey, a Muslim nation with a secular government, has long campaigned to join the European bloc but faces resistance from some Christian European leaders. Some also object because Turkey, with most of its territory in Asia, would expand the EU borders beyond Europe.
